Tailored Respiratory Protection Program Development For Any Industry

Deatailed policies developed by a Certified Industrial Hygienist/Certified Safety Professional.

A written respiratory protection program is a critical requirement for employers whose employees use respirators in the workplace. Under OSHA’s Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134), businesses must establish and maintain a comprehensive respiratory protection program that outlines procedures for respirator selection, medical evaluations, fit testing, employee training, maintenance, cleaning, storage, and program evaluation. At Respirator Mobile Fit, we specialize in respiratory protection program development and respiratory protection policy creation for businesses throughout Denver, Colorado Springs, Aurora, Fort Collins, Boulder, and communities across Colorado.

Our OSHA-compliant respiratory protection program development services are customized to meet the unique needs of healthcare organizations, construction companies, manufacturing facilities, industrial operations, emergency response agencies, and other workplaces where respiratory hazards exist.

Colorado employers trust Respirator Mobile Fit for professional respiratory protection policy development services that simplify OSHA compliance, reduce administrative burdens, and help protect employees from airborne hazards through effective respiratory protection program management.

Why is a Respiratory Protection Policy Important?

A custom respirator policy developed by a Certified Industrial Hygienist or a Certified Safety Professional (we are both at Respirator Mobile Fit) is important because it ensures that the respiratory protection program is tailored to the specific hazards and needs of your industry. Such a policy is essential for protecting workers from inhalation hazards, which can include harmful dusts, fogs, fumes, mists, gases, smokes, sprays, or vapors.

The primary objective of respiratory protection is to prevent atmospheric contamination, which should be accomplished through engineering control measures such as enclosure or confinement of the operation, general and local ventilation, and substitution of less toxic materials. When effective engineering controls are not feasible, appropriate respirators must be used.

A respirator program must cover several factors, including the proper selection of respirators based on the nature and extent of the hazard, work rate, area to be covered, mobility, work requirements, and conditions. The program must also include thorough training of all participants, especially the users who need to wear the respirators.

Employers are responsible for establishing an effective respiratory program, and different hazards require different respirators. Employees are responsible for wearing the respirator and complying with the program.
